This Custom destination can be used to directly configure an OpenTelemetry Exporter. The Custom destination is useful for testing new Exporters or for fulfilling a niche use case that is not supported by BindPlane natively.

note

The Custom Destination can only be used with components that are present in the BindPlane Agent. See the Included Components documentation for a list of supported components.
